Dear Meghan,
Before investing into a custom API, you might want to read a paper Ruben
Verborgh and I wrote with the wonderful people from the Cooper Hewitt museum to
warn against the “fallacy of the Multi-API culture”. It was published in the
Journal of Documentation, but you can find a freely available pre-print here:
